Simon Wilson

Part of the series So You Want to be a Head

Jo Owen visits Simon Wilson, an ambitious assistant headteacher at St Clere's School in Essex, to find out if he has what it takes to become a headteacher.

Simon is keen to move up the leadership ladder and has bags of energy and drive. But is he trying to run before he can walk?

Jo prescribes a visit to an inspirational leader within one of the most accountable and answerable jobs in the public sector: the chief fire officer of Essex County Fire and Rescue.

Will a day spent with David prompt Simon to reconsider his journey to headship? To find out, Simon sits before a carefully selected panel of education experts chosen from governing bodies, industry recruitment and outstanding schools.

After cross-examination, the panel will decide if he has the skill as well as the will to make it.

  Mr Wilson was my english teacher for a number of years and i feel he would make a great head teacher, an aspect of his personality that was not got across in this documentry was his humerous side. I think this quality alone will help him to become a great headteacher. Shaun baj

  I was very inspired by watching Simon in the web video. I strongly believe that he is an individual who will go on to achieve great things within education and is very much a 'head in the making'.
